"Hydrangeas are great—they dry really well and that color blue is awesome. Using dried elements is a wise idea because they won't wilt. I've tied this together with suede, which is very cool. It makes it feel more jewelry-like."

"I love begonia foliage—maroon and silvery leaves with jagged edges. And here, I wanted to use pink but make it less feminine. You want to think beyond the obvious and pay attention to texture. I have so many brides who are like, 'I love ranunculus!' To be honest, they're beautiful, but if I don't ever see another ranunculus boutonniere again, I'd be happy."

"My boyfriend and I found several soft pieces of driftwood when walking on the beach in Montauk, Long Island. Driftwood in your boutonniere? Why not? I think it's great to use different materials and unexpected elements from nature. The nigella is a nice complement to the wood because it's so feathery."

"This is a rock that I found and kept because I loved the line running through it. I glued the Emilia to the side of it so that it was cascading, and then wrapped the hemp around it. I wanted something totally from left field. An aesthetic-conscious guy would wear this—he'd recognize that it's something different and appreciate that."

"This is for the guy who wants burgers and dogs at his wedding and is wearing a seersucker suit. Very casual, very Americana. Look around for non-floral accessories at flea markets. That's where I found this tiny flag."
